Who is Wataru Endo? Liverpool target “incredible” leader as Jorg Schmadtke role becomes clear

Liverpool are in the market for midfield reinforcements after being brutally snubbed by Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, who both instead chose to join Liverpool

After missing out on both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, Liverpool have turned their attention to Wataru Endo.

Jurgen Klopp is desperately searching for a new midfield arrival with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both making the move to Saudi Arabia. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already arrived, but further reinforcements are required.

Caicedo and Lavia were Liverpool’s top two targets, but despite having bids accepted for both, the players opted to instead join Chelsea. And reports now claim that Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke has sanctioned a bid for Stuttgart star Endo.
